Stitches

Stitches, born Phillip Nickolas Katsabanis in 1995, is an American rapper of Greek and Cuban descent from Miami, Florida. He emerged in the mid-2010s as part of an internet-driven wave of independent rappers, gaining rapid attention through viral social media exposure rather than traditional label backing.

He became widely known for his aggressive trap-influenced style, blunt street narratives, and distinctive visual image, most notably his face tattoos, which fueled the virality of his breakout single «Brick In Yo Face». That song, along with tracks like «Molly Cyrus» and «One Million Dimes», established his brand as an unapologetic, hard-edged voice within the SoundCloud-era rap scene.

Stitches built his early career largely outside the major-label system, releasing mixtapes and leaning on internet culture and shock value to reach audiences directly. His output reflects the DIY, meme-adjacent dynamics that shaped a segment of mid-2010s rap, where visual identity and online buzz could launch a career as effectively as radio play.
